Day 19 – Fasting and the Presence of God Are you being surprised in your fasting experience? God loves to surprise His children by strangely satisfying them with His presence. Scripture Reading: Isaiah 58 & Psalm 1 Key Passage: Isaiah 58:6, 11 “Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen…he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.” Fasting Thought: “The rewards of fasting are not often instantaneous but are experienced over time. They come as surprises, like in the midst of a worship service when my soul is stirred and strangely satisfied. Or when I am reading the Word and my inner being is lifted beyond this world with a fresh perspective. Or when I am in prayer and the groaning of my heart experiences a peace that is unexplainable. I have found the rewards ultimately lead to a more intimate and satisfying experience with the God who made me, saves me and fills me.” ~ Gary Rohrmayer Prayer: Father in Heaven, today during my fast may I experience the sweet satisfying nature of Your presence and may I experience the refreshing power of Your abiding strength. Father, I want to be like a well-watered garden, like a spring that never runs dry for Your honor and glory. In Jesus Name, Amen.
Fasting & Prayer Journal Today’s Prayer for EGBC: Dear God, we have waited many years for You to change the trend line of our church from decline to growth. Surprise us by the manner in which You do it! Show us it is by Your great ability and not ours. Overwhelm us with Your power!
